## Setting up DHCP/TFTP server for UEFI distro network installers
A simple way to install the major Linux Distributions (e.g. Debian, Fedora, CentOS, openSUSE, etc) is by booting the network installer via PXE. In order to have a working PXE environment, a DHCP and TFTP server is required, which is responsible for providing the target device a valid IP configuration and the required files to boot the system (usually Grub 2 + kernel + initrd).
In order to simplify the setup, this document will use dnsmasq, which is a lightweight, easy to configure DNS forwarder and DHCP server with BOOTP/TFTP/PXE functionality.
### Installing and configuring dnsmasq
Debian/Ubuntu:
```shell
sudo apt-get install dnsmasq
```
Fedora/CentOS/RHEL:
```shell
yum install dnsmasq
```
This guide assumes you already know the network interface that will provide the DHCP/TFTP/PXE functionality for the target device. In this case, we are using _eth1_ as our secondary interface, with address _192.168.3.1_.
Following is the /etc/dnsmasq.conf providing the required functionality for PXE:
```shell
interface=eth1
dhcp-range=192.168.3.10,192.168.3.100,255.255.255.0,1h
dhcp-boot=BOOTAA64.EFI
enable-tftp
tftp-root=/srv/tftp
```
Check [http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/dnsmasq-man.html](http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/docs/dnsmasq-man.html) for more information and additional dnsmasq config options.
Now make sure the tftp-root directory is available, and then start/restart the dnsmasq service:
```shell
sudo mkdir -p /srv/tftp
sudo systemctl restart dnsmasq
```
Since we require UEFI support for the Reference Platform Software Enterprise Edition (EE-RPB), this document doesn't cover the traditional pxelinux specific configuration (used with the traditional BIOS setup).
For UEFI, we only require DHCP to provide the UEFI binary name (retrieved via TFTP), which in this case is the Grub 2 bootloader (which then loads the kernel, initrd and other extra files from the TFTP server).

## Installing CentOS 7.2 15.11 - Reference Platform Enterprise
This guide is not to be a replacement of the official CentOS Installer documentation, but instead be a quick walkthrough for the network installer. You can find the original documentation at [https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/AArch64](https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/AArch64)
### Setting up the TFTP server
Back to your dnsmasq server (check [this link](DHCP-TFTP-Server-UEFI.md) for instructions on how to setup your own TFTP/DCHP server), download the required CentOS 7 installer files at your tftp-root directory. In this example, this directory is configured to `/srv/tftp`.
Downloading required Grub 2 UEFI files:
```shell
sudo su -
cd /srv/tftp/
wget http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/aarch64/EFI/BOOT/BOOTAA64.EFI
wget http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/aarch64/EFI/BOOT/grubaa64.efi
```
#### Downloading the CentOS installer from the Reference Platform 16.06 release (4.4.11 RP Kernel):
```shell
mkdir /srv/tftp/centos7
cd /srv/tftp/centos7
wget https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/centos-installer/16.06/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
wget https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/centos-installer/16.06/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
```
Creating the Grub 2 config file (`grub.cfg`):
```shell
menuentry 'Install CentOS 7 ARM 64-bit - Reference Platform - 16.06' --class red --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
linux (tftp)/centos7/vmlinuz ip=dhcp inst.stage2=https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/centos-installer/16.06/ inst.repo=http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/aarch64/ inst.ks=file:/ks.cfg
initrd (tftp)/centos7/initrd.img
}
```
**Note:** `inst.ks` is required because of the additional linaro-overlay repository (which contains the reference platform kernel rpm package), which is available inside the `initrd.img`. The `inst.ks` contains only one line, which is used by the installer to fetch and install the right kernel package. The content: `repo --name="linaro-overlay" --baseurl=http://repo.linaro.org/rpm/linaro-overlay/centos-7/repo/`.
Also check the [RHEL 7](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/chap-anaconda-boot-options.html) and the [anaconda documentation](https://rhinstaller.github.io/anaconda/boot-options.html) for additional boot options. One example is using **ip=eth1:dhcp** if you want to use the second network interface as default.
You should now have the following file tree structure:
```shell
/srv/tftp/
├── BOOTAA64.EFI
├── centos7
│   ├── initrd.img
│   └── vmlinuz
├── grubaa64.efi
└── grub.cfg
```
Now just make sure that @/etc/dnsmasq.conf@ is pointing out to the right boot file, like:
```shell
dhcp-boot=BOOTAA64.EFI
```
### Booting the installer
Now boot your platform of choice, selecting PXE boot when presented by UEFI (make sure to boot with the right network interface, in case more than one is available).
You should see the following (using AMD Seattle's Overdrive as example):
```shell
NOTICE: BL3-1:

At this stage you should be able to see the Grub 2 menu, like:
```shell

.
Use the and keys to change the selection.
Press 'e' to edit the selected item, or 'c' for a command prompt.
```
Now just hit enter and wait for the kernel and initrd to load, which automatically loads the installer and provides you the installer console menu, so you can finally install CentOS 7.
You should see the following:

For the text mode installer, just enter `2` and follow the instructions available in the console.
Menu items without that are not `[x]` must be set. Enter the menu number associated with the menu in order to configure it.
### Finishing the installation
After selecting the install destination, partitioning scheme, root password and users (optional), just enter `b` to proceed with the installation.
Once the installation is completed, you should be able to simply reboot the system in order to boot into your new CentOS 7 system.
### Automating the installation with kickstart
It is possible to fully automate the installer by providing a file called kickstart. The kickstart file is a plain text file, containing keywords that serve as directions for the installation. Check the RHEL 7 [kickstart guide](https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Installation_Guide/sect-kickstart-howto.html) for further information about how to create your own kickstart file.
Kickstart example:
```shell
cmdline
url --url="http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/aarch64/"
repo --name="CentOS" --baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/os/aarch64/

%packages
wget
net-tools
chrony
%end
%post
useradd -m -U -G wheel linaro
echo linaro | passwd linaro --stdin
%end
```
#### Setting up grub.cfg
Now back to your tftp server, change the original grub.cfg file adding the location of your kickstart file:
```shell
menuentry 'Install CentOS 7 ARM 64-bit - Reference Platform - 16.06' --class red --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
linux (tftp)/centos7/vmlinuz ip=dhcp inst.stage2=https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/centos-installer/16.06/ inst.ks=http://people.linaro.org/~ricardo.salveti/centos-ks.cfg
initrd (tftp)/centos7/initrd.img
}
```
In case your system contains more than one network interface, also make sure to add the one to be used via the `ip` argument, like `ip=eth0:dhcp`.
#### Booting the system
Now just do a normal PXE boot, and anaconda should automatically load and use the kickstart file provided by grub.cfg. In case there is still a dialog that stops your installation that means not all the installer options are provided by your kickstart file. Get back to official documentation and try to find out what is the missing step.

## Installing Debian "Jessie" 8.5
This guide is not to be a replacement of the official Debian Installer documentation, but instead be a quick walkthrough for the network installer. You can find the original documentation at [https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/arm64/index.html.en](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/arm64/index.html.en)
### Debian Installer
The released debian-installer from Debian Jessie contains a kernel based on 3.16, which doesn't yet provide support for development boards used by the reference software project. For a complete enterprise experience (including support for tip-based kernel with ACPI support and additional platforms), we also build and publish a custom debian installer that incorporates a more recent kernel.
Our custom installer changes nothing more than the kernel, and you can also find the instructions to build it from source at the end of this document.
## Loading debian-installer from the network
### Setting up the TFTP server
Back to your dnsmasq server (check [this link](../DHCP-TFTP-Server-UEFI.md) for instructions on how to setup your own TFTP/DCHP server), download the required Debian installer files at your tftp-root directory. In this example, this directory is configured to `/srv/tftp`.
Since the kernel, initrd and GRUB 2 is part of the debian-installer tarball (`netboot.tar.gz`), that is the only file you will need to download and use.
#### Downloading debian-installer:
```shell
sudo su -
cd /srv/tftp/
wget https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/debian-installer/16.06/netboot.tar.gz
tar -zxvf netboot.tar.gz
```
You should now have the following file tree structure:
```shell
/srv/tftp/
├── debian-installer
│   └── arm64
│   ├── bootnetaa64.efi
│   ├── grub
│   │   ├── arm64-efi
│   │   │   ├── acpi.mod
│   │   │   ├── adler32.mod
│   │   │   ├── all_video.mod
│   │   │   ├── archelp.mod
│   │   │   ├── bfs.mod
│   │   │   ├── bitmap.mod
│   │   │   ├── bitmap_scale.mod
│   │   │   ├── blocklist.mod
│   │   │   ├── boot.mod
│   │   │   ├── btrfs.mod
│   │   │   ├── bufio.mod
...
│   │   │   ├── xzio.mod
│   │   │   └── zfscrypt.mod
│   │   ├── font.pf2
│   │   └── grub.cfg
│   ├── initrd.gz
│   └── linux
├── netboot.tar.gz
└── version.info
```
Now just make sure that `/etc/dnsmasq.conf` is pointing out to the right boot file, like:
```shell
dhcp-boot=debian-installer/arm64/bootnetaa64.efi
```
## Loading debian-installer from the minimal CD
Together with the debian-installer netboot files, a minimal ISO is also provided containing the same installer, which can be loaded as normal boot disk media.
Making a bootable SATA disk / USB stick / microSD card (attention to **/dev/sdX**, make sure that it is your target device first):
```
wget https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/debian-installer/16.06/mini.iso
sudo cp mini.iso /dev/sdX
sync
```
Please refer to the [debian-manual](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/amd64/ch04s03.html.en) for a more complete guide on creating a CD, SATA disk, USB stick or micro SD with the minimal ISO.
## Booting the installer
If you are booting the installer from the network, simply select PXE boot when presented by UEFI (make sure to boot with the right network interface, in case more than one is available). In case you are booting with the minimal ISO via SATA / USB / microSD, simply select the right boot option in UEFI.
You should see the following (using AMD Seattle's Overdrive as example):
```shell

### Finishing the installation
For using the installer, please check the documentation available at [https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/arm64/ch06.html.en](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/arm64/ch06.html.en)
**NOTE - Cello Only:** In case your mac address is empty (e.g. early boards), you will be required to change your default network mac address in order to proceed with the network install. Please open a shell after booted the installer (the installer offers the shell option at the first menu), and change the mac address as described below. Once changed, simply proceed with the install process.
```
~ # ip link set dev enp1s0 address de:5e:60:e4:6b:1f
~ # exit
```
Once the installation is completed, you should be able to simply reboot the system in order to boot your new Debian system.
**NOTE - Cello Only:** If you had to set a valid mac address during the installer, you will be required to also set the mac address in debian, after your first boot. Please change _/etc/network/interfaces_ and add your mac address again, like below:
```
root@debian:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
...
allow-hotplug enp1s0
iface enp1s0 inet dhcp
hwaddress ether de:5e:60:e4:6b:1f
```
### Automating the installation using preseeding
Preseeding provides a way to set answers to questions asked during the installation process, without having to manually enter the answers while the installation is running. This makes it possible to fully automate the installation over network, when used together with the debian-installer.
This document only provides a quick way for you to get started with preseeding. For the complete guide, please check the [Debian GNU/Linux Installation Guide](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/arm64/apb.html) and [example-preseed.txt](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/example-preseed.txt)
**Note:** Since we require an external kernel to be installed during the install process, this is done via the `preseed/late_command` argument, so you if you decide to use that command as part of your preseed file, make sure to add the following as part of the multi-line command:
```shell
d-i preseed/late_command string in-target apt-get install -y linux-image-reference-arm64; # here you can add 'in-target foobar' for additional commands
```
#### Creating the preseed file
Check [example-preseed.txt](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/example-preseed.txt) for a wide list of options supported by the Debian Jessie installer. Your file needs to use a similar format, but customized for your own needs.
Once created, make sure the file gets published into a network address that can be reachable from your target device.
Preseed example (`preseed.cfg`):
```shell
d-i debian-installer/locale string en_US
d-i keyboard-configuration/xkb-keymap select us
d-i netcfg/dhcp_timeout string 60
d-i netcfg/get_hostname string unassigned-hostname
d-i netcfg/get_domain string unassigned-domain
d-i netcfg/hostname string debian
d-i mirror/country string manual
d-i mirror/http/hostname string httpredir.debian.org
d-i mirror/http/directory string /debian
d-i mirror/http/proxy string
d-i passwd/root-password password linaro123
d-i passwd/root-password-again password linaro123
d-i passwd/user-fullname string Linaro User
d-i passwd/username string linaro
d-i passwd/user-password password linaro
d-i passwd/user-password-again password linaro
d-i passwd/user-default-groups string audio cdrom video sudo
d-i time/zone string UTC
d-i clock-setup/ntp boolean true
d-i clock-setup/utc boolean true
d-i partman-auto/disk string /dev/sda
d-i partman-auto/method string regular
d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true
d-i partman-md/device_remove_md boolean true
d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select atomic
d-i partman/confirm_write_new_label boolean true
d-i partman/choose_partition select finish
d-i partman/confirm boolean true
d-i partman/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true
popularity-contest popularity-contest/participate boolean false
tasksel tasksel/first multiselect standard, web-server
d-i pkgsel/include string openssh-server build-essential ca-certificates sudo vim ntp
d-i pkgsel/upgrade select safe-upgrade
d-i finish-install/reboot_in_progress note
```
In this example, this content is also available at [http://people.linaro.org/~ricardo.salveti/preseed.cfg](http://people.linaro.org/~ricardo.salveti/preseed.cfg)
#### Setting up grub.cfg
Now back to your tftp server, change the original `grub.cfg` file adding the location of your preseed file:
```shell
$ cat /srv/tftp/debian-installer/arm64/grub/grub.cfg
# Force grub to automatically load the first option
set default=0
set timeout=1
menuentry 'Install with preseeding' {
linux /debian-installer/arm64/linux auto=true priority=critical url=http://people.linaro.org/~ricardo.salveti/preseed.cfg ---
initrd /debian-installer/arm64/initrd.gz
}
```
The `auto` kernel parameter is an alias for `auto-install/enable` and setting it to `true` delays the locale and keyboard questions until after there has been a chance to preseed them, while `priority` is an alias for `debconf/priority` and setting it to `critical` stops any questions with a lower priority from being asked.
In case your system contains more than one network interface, also make sure to add the one to be used via the `interface` argument, like `interface=eth1`.
#### Booting the system
Now just do a normal PXE boot, and debian-installer should automatically load and use the preseeds file provided by `grub.cfg`. In case there is still a dialog that stops your installation that means not all the debian-installer options are provided by your preseeds file. Get back to [example-preseed.txt](https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/example-preseed.txt) and try to identify what is missing step.
Also make sure to check debian-installer's `/var/log/syslog` (by opening a shell) when debugging the installer.
### Building debian-installer from source
#### Build kernel package and udebs
Check the Debian [kernel-handbook](http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html) for the instructions required to build the debian kernel package from scratch. Since the installer only understands `udeb` packages, it is a good idea to reuse the official kernel packaging instructions and rules.
You can also find the custom kernel source package created as part of the EE-RPB effort at [https://builds.96boards.org/snapshots/reference-platform/components/linux/enterprise/latest/](https://builds.96boards.org/snapshots/reference-platform/components/linux/enterprise/latest/)
#### Rebuilding debian-installer with the new udebs
To build the installer, make sure you're running on a native `arm64` system, preferably running Debian Jessie.
Download the installer (from jessie):
```shell
sudo apt-get build-dep debian-installer
dget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debian-installer/debian-installer_20150422+deb8u4.dsc
```
Change the kernel abi and set a default local preseed (so it can install your kernel during the install process):
```shell
cd debian-installer-*
cd build
sed -i "s/LINUX_KERNEL_ABI.*/LINUX_KERNEL_ABI = YOUR_KERNEL_ABI/g" config/common
sed -i "s/PRESEED.*/PRESEED = default-preseed/g" config/common
```
Download the kernel udebs that you created at the localudebs folder:
```shell
cd localudebs
wget <list of your custom udeb files created by the kernel debian package>
cd ..
```
Create a local pkg-list to include the udebs created (otherwise d-i will not be able to find them online):
```shell
cat <<EOF > pkg-lists/local
ext4-modules-\${kernel:Version}
fat-modules-\${kernel:Version}
btrfs-modules-\${kernel:Version}
md-modules-\${kernel:Version}
efi-modules-\${kernel:Version}
scsi-modules-\${kernel:Version}
jfs-modules-\${kernel:Version}
xfs-modules-\${kernel:Version}
ata-modules-\${kernel:Version}
sata-modules-\${kernel:Version}
usb-storage-modules-\${kernel:Version}
EOF
```
Set up the local repo, so the installer can locate your udebs (from localudebs):
```shell
cat <<EOF > sources.list.udeb
deb [trusted=yes] copy:/PATH/TO/your/installer/d-i/debian-installer-20150422/build/ localudebs/
deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie main/debian-installer
EOF
```
Default preseed to skip known errors (as the kernel provided by local udebs):
```
cat <<EOF > default-preseed
# Continue install on "no kernel modules were found for this kernel"
d-i anna/no_kernel_modules boolean true
# Continue install on "no installable kernels found"
d-i base-installer/kernel/skip-install boolean true
d-i base-installer/kernel/no-kernels-found boolean true
d-i preseed/late_command string in-target wget <your linux-image.deb>; dpkg -i linux-image-*.deb
EOF
```
Now just build the installer:
```shell
fakeroot make build_netboot
```
You should now find your custom debian-installer at `dest/netboot/netboot.tar.gz`.

## Installing Fedora 23
This guide is not to be a replacement of the official Fedora 23 Installer documentation, but instead be a quick walkthrough for the network installer. You can find the original documentation at [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/AArch64/F23/Installation](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/AArch64/F23/Installation)
### Setting up the TFTP server
Back to your dnsmasq server (check [this link](DHCP-TFTP-Server-UEFI.md) for instructions on how to setup your own TFTP/DCHP server), download the required Fedora 23 installer files at your tftp-root directory. In this example, this directory is configured to `/srv/tftp`.
Downloading required Grub 2 UEFI files:
**Note:** Because of bug [1251600](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1251600), we need to use both `BOOTAA64.EFI` and `grubaa64.efi` from the Fedora 22 release.
```shell
sudo su -
cd /srv/tftp/
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/22/Server/aarch64/os/EFI/BOOT/BOOTAA64.EFI
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/22/Server/aarch64/os/EFI/BOOT/grubaa64.efi
```
Downloading upstream Kernel and Initrd
```shell
mkdir /srv/tftp/f23
cd /srv/tftp/f23
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/23/Server/aarch64/os/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
wget http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/23/Server/aarch64/os/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
```
Creating the Grub 2 config file (`grub.cfg`):
```shell
menuentry 'Install Fedora 23 ARM 64-bit' --class fedora --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os {
linux (tftp)/f23/vmlinuz ip=dhcp inst.repo=http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/23/Server/aarch64/os/
initrd (tftp)/f23/initrd.img
}
```
You should now have the following file tree structure:
```shell
/srv/tftp/
├── BOOTAA64.EFI
├── f23
│   ├── initrd.img
│   └── vmlinuz
├── grubaa64.efi
└── grub.cfg
```
Now just make sure that @/etc/dnsmasq.conf@ is pointing out to the right boot file, like:
```shell
dhcp-boot=BOOTAA64.EFI
```
### Booting the installer
Now boot your platform of choice, selecting PXE boot when presented by UEFI (make sure to boot with the right network interface, in case more than one is available).
You should see the following (using AMD Seattle's Overdrive as example):
```shell
NOTICE: BL3-1:
NOTICE: BL3-1: Built : 18:22:46, Nov 23 2015
INFO: BL3-1: Initializing runtime services

NBP filesize is 885736 Bytes
>>Checking Media Presence......

Succeed to download NBP file.
Fetching Netboot Image
```
At this stage you should be able to see the Grub 2 menu, like:
```shell
Install Fedora 23 ARM 64-bit
.
Use the and keys to change the selection.
Press 'e' to edit the selected item, or 'c' for a command prompt.
```
Now just hit enter and wait for the kernel and initrd to load, which automatically loads the installer and provides you the installer console menu, so you can finally install Fedora 23 (just make sure that target device has external network access, since the installer is downloaded automatically after booting the kernel).
You should see the following:
```shell

This post concentrates on Running Hadoop after [installing](ODPi-Hadoop-Installation.md) ODPi components built using Apache BigTop. These steps are only for configuring it on a single node and running them on a single node.
# Add Hadoop User
We need to create a dedicated user (hduser) for running Hadoop. This user needs to be added to hadoop usergroup:
```shell
sudo useradd -G hadoop hduser
```
give a password for hduser
```shell
sudo passwd hduser
```
Add hduser to sudoers list
On Debian:
```shell
sudo adduser hduser sudo
```
On Centos:
```shell
sudo usermod -G wheel hduser
```
Switch to hduser:
```shell
sudo su - hduser
```
# Generate ssh key for hduser
```shell
ssh-keygen -t rsa -P ""
```
Press \<enter\> to leave to default file name.
Enable ssh access to local machine:
```shell
cat $HOME/.ssh/id_rsa.pub >> $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys
```
Test ssh setup, as hduser:
```shell
ssh localhost
```
# Disabling IPv6
```shell
sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf
```
Add the below lines to the end and save:
```shell
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1
```
Prefer IPv4 on Hadoop:
```shell
sudo nano /etc/hadoop/conf/hadoop-env.sh
```
Uncomment line:
```shell
# export HADOOP_OPTS=-Djava.net.preferIPV4stack=true
```
Run sysctl to apply the changes:
```shell
sudo sysctl -p
```
# Configuring the app environment
Configure the app environment by following steps:
```shell
sudo mkdir -p /app/hadoop/tmp
sudo chown hduser:hadoop /app/hadoop/tmp
sudo chmod 750 /app/hadoop/tmp
sudo chown hduser:hadoop /usr/lib/hadoop
sudo chmod 750 /usr/lib/hadoop
```
# Setting up Environment Variables
Follow the below steps to setup Environment Variables in bash file :
```shell
sudo su - hduser
nano .bashrc
```
Add the following to the end and save:
```shell
export HADOOP_HOME=/usr/lib/hadoop
export HADOOP_PREFIX=$HADOOP_HOME
export HADOOP_OPTS="-Djava.library.path=$HADOOP_PREFIX/lib/native"
export HADOOP_LIBEXEC_DIR=/usr/lib/hadoop/libexec
export HADOOP_CONF_DIR=$HADOOP_HOME/etc/hadoop
export HADOOP_COMMON_LIB_NATIVE_DIR=$HADOOP_HOME/lib/native
export HADOOP_COMMON_HOME=$HADOOP_HOME
export HADOOP_MAPRED_HOME=/usr/lib/hadoop-mapreduce
export HADOOP_HDFS_HOME=/usr/lib/hadoop-hdfs
export YARN_HOME=/usr/lib/hadoop-yarn
export HADOOP_YARN_HOME=/usr/lib/hadoop-yarn/
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:.
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$HADOOP_HOME/hadoop-common-2.6.0.jar
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$HADOOP_HOME/client/hadoop-hdfs-2.6.0.jar
export JAVA_HOME=$(readlink -f /usr/bin/java | sed "s:bin/java::")
export PATH=/usr/lib/hadoop/libexec:/etc/hadoop/conf:$HADOOP_HOME/bin/:$PATH
```
Execute the terminal environment again (`bash`), or simply logout and change to `hduser` again.
# Modifying config files
## core-site.xml
```shell
sudo nano /etc/hadoop/conf/core-site.xml
```
And add/modify the following settings:
Look for property with <name> fs.defaultFS</name> and modify as below:
```shell
<property>
<name>fs.default.name</name>
<value>hdfs://localhost:54310</value>
<description>The name of the default file system. A URI whose
scheme and authority determine the FileSystem implementation. The
uri's scheme determines the config property (fs.SCHEME.impl) naming
the FileSystem implementation class. The uri's authority is used to
determine the host, port, etc. for a filesystem.</description>
</property>
```
Add this to the bottom before \</configuration> tag:
```shell
<property>
<name>hadoop.tmp.dir</name>
<value>/app/hadoop/tmp</value>
<description>A base for other temporary directories.</description>
</property>
```
## mapred-site.xml
```shell
sudo nano /etc/hadoop/conf/mapred-site.xml
```
Modify existing properties as follows:
Look for property tag with <name> as mapred.job.tracker and modify as below:
```shell
<property>
<name>mapred.job.tracker</name>
<value>localhost:54311</value>
<description>The host and port that the MapReduce job tracker runs
at. If "local", then jobs are run in-process as a single map
and reduce task.
</description>
</property>
```
## hdfs-site.xml:
```shell
sudo nano /etc/hadoop/conf/hdfs-site.xml
```
Modify existing property as below :
```shell
<property>
<name>dfs.replication</name>
<value>1</value>
<description>Default block replication.
The actual number of replications can be specified when the file is created.
The default is used if replication is not specified in create time.
</description>
</property>
```
# Format Namenode
This step is needed for the first time. Doing it every time will result in loss of content on HDFS.
```shell
sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-hdfs-namenode init
```
# Start the YARN daemons
```shell
for i in hadoop-hdfs-namenode hadoop-hdfs-datanode ; do sudo service $i start ; done
sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-yarn-resourcemanager start
sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-yarn-nodemanager start
```
# Validating Hadoop
Check if hadoop is running. jps command should list namenode, datanode, yarn resource manager. or use ps aux
```shell
sudo jps
```
or
```shell
ps aux | grep java
```
Alternatively, check if yarn managers are running:
```shell
sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-yarn-resourcemanager status
sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-yarn-nodemanager status
```
You would see like below:
```shell

## Run teragen, terasort and teravalidate ##
```shell

hadoop jar /usr/lib/hadoop-mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-examples.jar terasort terainput teraoutput
hadoop jar /usr/lib/hadoop-mapreduce/hadoop-mapreduce-examples.jar teravalidate -D mapred.reduce.tasks=8 teraoutput teravalidate
```
## Stop the Hadoop services ##
```shell
sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-yarn-nodemanager stop
sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-yarn-resourcemanager stop
for i in hadoop-hdfs-namenode hadoop-hdfs-datanode ; do sudo service $i stop; done
```
## Potential Errors / Issues and Resolutions ##
* If Teragen, TeraSort and TeraValidate error out with 'permission denied' exception. The following steps can be done:
```shell
sudo groupadd supergroup
sudo usermod -g supergroup hduser
```
* If for some weird reason, if you notice the config files (core-site.xml, hdfs-site.xml, etc) are empty.
```shell
You may have delete all the packages and re-run the steps of installation from scratch.
```
* Error while formatting namenode
With the following command:
```shell
sudo /etc/init.d/hadoop-hdfs-namenode init
If you see the following error:
WARN net.DNS: Unable to determine local hostname -falling back to "localhost"
java.net.UnknownHostException: centos: centos
at java.net.InetAddress.getLocalHost(InetAddress.java:1496)
at org.apache.hadoop.net.DNS.resolveLocalHostname(DNS.java:264)
at org.apache.hadoop.net.DNS.<clinit>(DNS.java:57)
Something is wrong in the network setup. Please check /etc/hosts file.
```shell
sudo nano /etc/hosts
```
The hosts file should like below:
```shell
127.0.0.1 <hostname> localhost localhost.localdomain #hostname should have the output of $ hostname
::1 localhost
```
Also try the following steps:
```shell
sudo rm -Rf /app/hadoop/tmp
hadoop namenode -format
```

This post concentrates on installing ODPi components built using Apache BigTop. These steps configure and run the components on a single node.
# Prerequisites:
* Java 7 (e.g. openjdk-7-jre)
# Repo:
ODPi deb and rpm packages can be found on Linaro repositories:
* Debian Jessie - http://repo.linaro.org/ubuntu/linaro-overlay/
* CentOS 7 - http://repo.linaro.org/rpm/linaro-overlay/centos-7/
# Installation :
### On Debian:
Add to repo source list (**not required if you are using the installer from the Reference Platform**):
```shell
echo "deb http://repo.linaro.org/ubuntu/linaro-overlay jessie main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linaro-overlay-repo.list
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E13D88F7E3C1D56C
```
Update the source list and install the dependencies:
```shell
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install openssh-server rsync openjdk-7-jre openjdk-7-jdk
sudo apt-get build-dep build-essential
```
Install Hadoop packages:
```shell
sudo apt-get install -ft jessie bigtop-tomcat bigtop-utils hadoop* spark* hue* zookeeper* hive* hbase* oozie* pig* mahout*
```
### On CentOS:
```shell
sudo wget http://repo.linaro.org/rpm/linaro-overlay/centos-7/linaro-overlay.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/linaro-overlay.repo
sudo yum update
sudo yum -y install openssh-server openssh-clients java-1.7.0-openjdk*
sudo yum install -y bigtop-tomcat bigtop-utils hadoop* spark* hue* zookeeper* hive* hbase* oozie* pig* mahout*
```
### Verifying Installation
Packages would get installed in /usr/lib
Type hadoop to check if hadoop is installed:
```shell
hadoop
```
And you should see the following:
```shell
linaro@debian:~$ hadoop
Usage: hadoop [--config confdir] COMMAND
where COMMAND is one of:
fs run a generic filesystem user client
version print the version
jar <jar> run a jar file
checknative [-a|-h] check native hadoop and compression libraries availability
distcp <srcurl> <desturl> copy file or directories recursively
archive -archiveName NAME -p <parent path> <src>* <dest> create a hadoop archive
classpath prints the class path needed to get the
credential interact with credential providers
Hadoop jar and the required libraries
daemonlog get/set the log level for each daemon
trace view and modify Hadoop tracing settings
or
CLASSNAME run the class named CLASSNAME
```
Most commands print help when invoked w/o parameters.

# OpenStack Liberty - Debian Jessie
# Introduction
In general, the instructions in the Liberty install guide should be followed: http://docs.openstack.org/liberty/install-guide-ubuntu/overview.html. This guide will describe changes to the documented procedures that should be kept in mind while going through the guide.
Each section below will correspond to a section in the guide. Guide sections that do not have a corresponding section below may be followed as-is.
# Release Notes
## Configuring images for aarch64
An image must be configured specially in glance to be able to boot correctly on aarch64.
To attach the devices to the virtio bus (which does not allow hotplugging a volume, but will work if the image does not have SCSI support), the following properties must be set:
```shell
--property hw_machine_type=virt
--property os_command_line='root=/dev/vda rw rootwait console=ttyAMA0'
--property hw_cdrom_bus=virtio
```
To attach the devices to the SCSI bus (which does allow hotplugging a volume, but might not be supported by the guest image), the following properties must be set:
```shell
--property hw_scsi_model='virtio-scsi'
--property hw_disk_bus='scsi'
--property os_command_line='root=/dev/sda rw rootwait console=ttyAMA0'
```
You can set these properties when you are uploading the image into glance, or modify the image if you have already uploaded it.
# Pre-Installation
## Verify/enable additional repositories
Verify that the `linaro-overlay` and `jessie-backports` repositories are enabled.
Check if they are available by checking `/etc/apt/sources.list` and `/etc/apt/sources.list.d`.
If missing, add the following to `/etc/apt/sources.list.d` directory:
```shell
$ echo "deb http://repo.linaro.org/ubuntu/linaro-overlay jessie main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/linaro-overlay-repo.list
$ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys E13D88F7E3C1D56C
```
If missing, add the following to `/etc/apt/sources.list.d` directory:
```shell
$ echo "deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jessie-backports.list
```
## Modify repository priorities
Create `/etc/apt/preferences.d/jessie-backports`:
```shell
Package: *
Pin: release a=jessie-backports
Pin-Priority: 500
```
Then, make sure to run apt-get update:
```shell
$ sudo apt-get update
```
## Environment
Update `/etc/hosts` to add “controller” as an alias for localhost.
```shell
127.0.0.1 localhost controller
```
## Disable IPV6
Add the following to `/etc/sysctl.conf`:
```shell
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6 = 1
net.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6 = 1
```
Run sysctl to apply the changes:
```shell
$ sudo sysctl -p
```
# Following the Openstack guide...
OpenStack guide: http://docs.openstack.org/liberty/install-guide-ubuntu/overview.html
## Environment

#### Finalize installation
Omit this section of the guide.
### Verify operation
The CirrOS image to run on aarch64 is the file that ends in `-uec.tar.gz`. It must be extracted and each file (kernel, initrd, disk image) uploaded to Glance separately.
Download the CirrOS AArch64 UEC tarball and untar it:
```shell
$ wget http://download.cirros-cloud.net/daily/20150923/cirros-d150923-aarch64-uec.tar.gz
$ tar xvf cirros-d150923-aarch64-uec.tar.gz
```
Upload the image parts into Glance. You will need to make note of the IDs assigned to the kernel and initrd and pass them on the command line when uploading the disk image:

## UEFI/EDK2
EDK2 is a modern, feature-rich, cross-platform firmware development environment for the UEFI and PI specifications.
The reference UEFI/EDK2 tree used by the EE-RPB comes directly from [upstream](https://github.com/tianocore/edk2), based on a specific commit that gets validated and published as part of the Linaro EDK2 effort (which is available at [https://git.linaro.org/uefi/linaro-edk2.git](https://git.linaro.org/uefi/linaro-edk2.git)).
Since there is no hardware specific support as part of EDK2 upstream, an external module called [OpenPlatformPkg](https://git.linaro.org/uefi/OpenPlatformPkg.git) is also required as part of the build process.
EDK2 is currently used by 96boards LeMaker Cello, AMD Overdrive, ARM Juno r0/r1/r2, HiSilicon D02 and HiSilicon D03.
This guide provides enough information on how to build UEFI/EDK2 from scratch, but meant to be a quick guide. For further information please also check the official Linaro UEFI documentation, available at [https://wiki.linaro.org/ARM/UEFI](https://wiki.linaro.org/ARM/UEFI) and [https://wiki.linaro.org/LEG/Engineering/Kernel/UEFI/build](https://wiki.linaro.org/LEG/Engineering/Kernel/UEFI/build)
### Building
#### Pre-Requisites
Make sure the build dependencies are available at your host machine.
On Debian/Ubuntu:
```shell
sudo apt-get install uuid-dev build-essential aisle
```
On RHEL/CentOS/Fedora:
```shell
sudo yum install uuid-devel libuuid-devel aisle
```
Also make sure you have the right 'acpica-unix' version at your host system. The current one required by the 16.03/16.06 releases is 20150930, and you can find the packages (debian) at the 'linaro-overlay':
```shell
wget http://repo.linaro.org/ubuntu/linaro-overlay/pool/main/a/acpica-unix/acpica-tools_20150930-1.linarojessie.1_amd64.deb
wget http://repo.linaro.org/ubuntu/linaro-overlay/pool/main/a/acpica-unix/acpidump_20150930-1.linarojessie.1_all.deb
wget http://repo.linaro.org/ubuntu/linaro-overlay/pool/main/a/acpica-unix/iasl_20150930-1.linarojessie.1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i --force-all *.deb
```
If cross compiling, you also need to separately add the required toolchains. Ubuntu has a prebuilt arm-linux-gnueabihf toolchain, but not an aarch64-linux-gnu one.
Download Linaro's GCC 4.9 cross-toolchain for Aarch64, and make it available in your 'PATH'. You can download and use the Linaro GCC binary (Linaro GCC 4.9-2015.02), available at [http://releases.linaro.org/15.02/components/toolchain/binaries/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-4.9-2015.02-3-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz](http://releases.linaro.org/15.02/components/toolchain/binaries/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-4.9-2015.02-3-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz)
```shell
mkdir arm-tc arm64-tc
tar --strip-components=1 -C ${PWD}/arm-tc -xf gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9-*_linux.tar.xz
tar --strip-components=1 -C ${PWD}/arm64-tc -xf gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.9-*_linux.tar.xz
export PATH="${PWD}/arm-tc/bin:${PWD}/arm64-tc/bin:$PATH"
```

### Flashing
#### Juno R0/R1
##### Clean flash
Power on the board, and (if prompted) press Enter to stop auto boot. Once in Juno's boot monitor, use the following commands to erase Juno's flash and export it as an external storage:
```shell
Cmd> flash
Flash> eraseall
Flash> quit
Cmd> usb_on
```
This will delete any binaries and UEFI settings currently stored in the Juno's flash, then mount the Juno's MMC card as an external storage device on your host PC.
In order to do a clean flash on Juno, you will also need to flash the firmware provided by ARM, which can be downloaded from the Linaro ARM LT Versatile Express Firmware git tree:
```shell
git clone -b juno-0.11.6-linaro1 --depth 1 https://git.linaro.org/arm/vexpress-firmware.git
```
Then copy over the UEFI/EDK2 files that were built in the previous steps, making sure they get copied to the right firmware folder location:
```shell
cp $LINARO_EDK2_DIR/Build/ArmJuno/DEBUG_GCC49/FV/bl1.bin vexpress-firmware/SOFTWARE
cp $LINARO_EDK2_DIR/Build/ArmJuno/DEBUG_GCC49/FV/fip.bin vexpress-firmware/SOFTWARE
```
Now just copy all the files that are now available in the 'vexpress-firmware' folder into the mounted MMC card (which is provided as an external storage after calling 'usb_on'):
```shell
cp -rf vexpress-firmware/* /media/recovery
```
Be sure to issue a sync command on your host PC afterwards, which will guarantee that the copy has completed:
```shell
sync
```
Finally, power cycle the Juno. After it has finished copying the contents of the MMC card into Flash, the board will boot up and run the new firmware.
##### Upgrading UEFI/EDK2
If you already have a known working firmware available in your Juno, you simply need to update 'bl1.bin' and 'fip.bin', by mounting Juno's MMC over usb (as described in the procedure for clean flash).
Export Juno's MMC as a usb storage device on your host machine:
```shell
Cmd> usb_on
```
Then just copy over the UEFI/EDK2 files that were built in the previous steps:
```shell
cp $LINARO_EDK2_DIR/Build/ArmJuno/DEBUG_GCC49/FV/bl1.bin /media/recovery/SOFTWARE
cp $LINARO_EDK2_DIR/Build/ArmJuno/DEBUG_GCC49/FV/fip.bin /media/recovery/SOFTWARE
```
Be sure to issue a sync command on your host PC afterwards, which will guarantee that the copy has completed:
```shell
sync
```
Then just power cycle the Juno and the board should see and use the new firmware.
#### D02
Flashing D02 requires the board to have a working ethernet connection to the FTP server hosting the firmware (since the recovery UEFI image provides an update path via FTP fetch + flash). Flashing also requires entering the Embedded Boot Loader (EBL). This can be reached by typing 'exit' on the UEFI shell that will bring you to a bios-like menu. Goto 'Boot Manager' to find EBL.
##### Clean flash
First make sure the built firmware is available in your FTP server ('PV660D02.fd'):
```shell
cp PV660D02.fd /srv/tftp/
```
Now follow the steps below in order to fetch and flash the new firmware:
1. Power off the board and unplug the power supply.
2. Push the dial switch **3. CPU0_SPI_SEL** to **off** (check [http://open-estuary.com/d02-2/](http://open-estuary.com/d02-2/) for the board picture)
- The board has two SPI flash chips, and this switch selects which one to boot from.
3. Power on the device, stop the boot from the serial console, and get into the the 'Embedded Boot Loader (EBL)' shell
4. Push the dial switch **3. CPU0_SPI_SEL** to **on**
- **NOTE:** make sure to run the step above before running 'biosupdate' (as it modifies the flash), or else the backup BIOS will also be modified and there will be no way to unbrick the board (unless sending it back to Huawei).
5. Download and flash the firmware file from the FTP server:
'biosupdate <server ip> -u <user> -p <password> -f <UEFI image file name> master' like
'D02 > biosupdate 10.0.0.10 -u anonymous -p anonymous -f PV660D02.fd master'
6. Exit the EBL console and reboot the board
##### Upgrading firmware
There are 2 options for updating the firmware, first via network and the second via USB storage.
Network upgrade:
1. Make sure the built firmware is available in your FTP server ('PV660D02.fd')
2. Stop UEFI boot, select 'Boot Manager' then 'Embedded Boot Loader (EBL)'
3. Download and flash the firmware file from the FTP server:
'biosupdate <server ip> -u <user> -p <password> -f <UEFI image file name> master', like
'D02 > biosupdate 10.0.0.10 -u anonymous -p anonymous -f PV660D02.fd master'
4. Exit the EBL console and reboot the board
USB storage upgrade:
- Copy the '.fd' file to a FAT32 partition on USB (UEFI can only recognize FAT32 file system), then run the following command (from **EBL**):
'newbios fs1:\<file path to .fd file>'
On EBL fs1 is for USB first partition, while fs0 the ramdisk.
#### D03
Flashing D03 requires the board to have a working ethernet connection to the FTP server hosting the firmware (since the recovery UEFI image provides an update path via FTP fetch + flash). Flashing also requires entering the Embedded Boot Loader (EBL). This can be reached by typing 'exit' on the UEFI shell that will bring you to a bios-like menu. Goto 'Boot Manager' to find EBL.
##### Clean flash
First make sure the built firmware is available in your FTP server ('D03.fd'):
```shell
cp D03.fd /srv/tftp/
```
Now follow the steps below in order to fetch and flash the new firmware:
1. Power off the board and unplug the power supply.
2. Push the dial switch **3. CPU0_SPI_SEL** to **off** (check [http://open-estuary.com/d03-2/](http://open-estuary.com/d03-2/) for the board picture)
- The board has two SPI flash chips, and this switch selects which one to boot from.
3. Power on the device, stop the boot from the serial console, and get into the the 'Embedded Boot Loader (EBL)' shell
4. Push the dial switch **3. CPU0_SPI_SEL** to **on**
- **NOTE:** make sure to run the step above before running 'biosupdate' (as it modifies the flash), or else the backup BIOS will also be modified and there will be no way to unbrick the board (unless sending it back to Huawei).
5. Download and flash the firmware file from the FTP server:
'biosupdate <server ip> -u <user> -p <password> -f <UEFI image file name> master' like
'D02 > biosupdate 10.0.0.10 -u anonymous -p anonymous -f D03.fd master'
6. Exit the EBL console and reboot the board
##### Upgrading firmware
There are 2 options for updating the firmware, first via network and the second via USB storage.
Network upgrade:
1. Make sure the built firmware is available in your FTP server ('D03.fd')
2. Stop UEFI boot, select 'Boot Manager' then 'Embedded Boot Loader (EBL)'
3. Download and flash the firmware file from the FTP server:
'biosupdate <server ip> -u <user> -p <password> -f <UEFI image file name> master', like
'D02 > biosupdate 10.0.0.10 -u anonymous -p anonymous -f D03.fd master'
4. Exit the EBL console and reboot the board
USB storage upgrade:
- Copy the '.fd' file to a FAT32 partition on USB (UEFI can only recognize FAT32 file system), then run the following command (from **EBL**):
'newbios fs1:\<file path to .fd file>'
On EBL fs1 is for USB first partition, while fs0 the ramdisk.
#### AMD Overdrive / HuskyBoard / Cello
##### Clean flash
###### DediProg SF100
Use [DediProg SF100](http://www.dediprog.com/pd/spi-flash-solution/sf100) to flash the firmware via SPI, by plugging the programming unit into the Overdrive/Husky/Cello board 2x4 pin header (labeled SCP SPI J5 on Overdrive).
The Dediprog flashing tool is also available for Linux, please check for [https://github.com/DediProgSW/SF100Linux](https://github.com/DediProgSW/SF100Linux) for build and use instructions.
First unplug the power cord before flashing the new firmware, then erase the SPI flash memory:
```shell
dpcmd --type MX25L12835F -e
```
Now just flash the new firmware:
```shell
dpcmd --type MX25L12835F -p FIRMWARE.rom
```
Then just power cycle the board, and it should boot with the new firmware.
###### SPI Hook
Use [SPI Hook](http://www.tincantools.com/SPI_Hook.html) and _flashrom_ to flash the firmware via SPI, by plugging the programming unit into the Overdrive/Husky/Cello board 2x4 pin header (labeled SCP SPI J5 on Overdrive).
In order to use SPI Hook, make sure _flashrom_ is recent enough. This utility is used to identify, read, write, verify and erase flash chips. You can find the _flashrom_ package in most Linux distributions, but make sure the version at least v.0.9.8. If older, please just build latest from source, by going to [flashrom Downloads](https://www.flashrom.org/Downloads)
Depending on the size of the firmware image, flashrom might not be able to flash as it will complain that the size of the image is not a perfect match for the size of the SPI (partial flash only supported via the use of layouts). One easy way is just appending 0s at the end of the file, until it got the right size.
Example for the 4.5M based firmware:
```shell
dd if=/dev/zero of=FIRMWARE.ROM ibs=512K count=23 obs=1M oflag=append conv=notrunc
```
Connect the SPI cable, unplug the power cord and flash SPI:
```shell
sudo flashrom -p ft2232_spi:type=2232h,port=A,divisor=2 -c "MX25L12835F/MX25L12845E/MX25L12865E" -w FIRMWARE.rom
```
Then just power cycle the board, and it should boot with the new firmware.
##### Upgrading firmware
There is currently no easy way to update just the UEFI/EDK2 firmware, so please follow the clean flash process instead.

- Step 11: Transfer the modules to the target HiKey
- Step 12: Generate the initramfs
- Step 13: Create the device tree image and boot image
- Customize Bootloader
- Build Rootfs from source
***
#### Building the Linux kernel from source
The Linux kernel used in this release is available via tags in the git [repository](https://github.com/96boards/linux)
```shell
git: https://github.com/96boards/linux
Dynamic tag: 96b-kernelci
Fixed tag: 96b/releases/2016.06
defconfig: arch/arm64/configs/distro.config
```
The kernel image (`Image`) and the kernel modules are installed in the root file system (e.g. `/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-104-arm64` and `/lib/modules/4.4.0-104-arm64`). It is possible for a user to rebuild the kernel and run a custom kernel image instead of the released kernel. You can build the kernel using any recent GCC release using the git tree, tag and defconfig mentioned above. This release only supports booting with device tree, as such both the device tree blobs need to be built as well.
The HiKey is an ARMv8 platform, and the kernel is compiled for the Aarch64 target. Even though it is possible to build natively, on the target board, It is recommended to build the Linux kernel on a PC development host. In which case you need to install a cross compiler for the ARM architecture. It is recommended to download the Linaro GCC cross compiler [Aarch64 little-endian](http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.3-2016.02/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz), also available [here](http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.3-2016.02/)
To build the Linux kernel, you can use the following instructions:
#### Step 1: Setting up your environment on your host computer
- Open your Terminal and cd into your desired directory
- Make a new folder using `mkdir`, name it something relevant
```shell
#Example of desired directory
$ cd ~/Desktop
#Example of relevant folder
$ mkdir HiKey-16.06
$ cd HiKey-16.06
```
#### Step 2: Step 2: Download the Linaro cross compiler toolchain
- From within the directory you just made
- Download and unzip by executing the following commands
###### Linaro Cross Compiler
```shell
#Download
$ wget http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.3-2016.02/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz
#Unzip
$ tar -Jxvf gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz
```
#### Step 3: Export path to cross compiler tool and confirm version
- Exporting path will allow build system can find and use the right kernel
```shell
#Create path
$ export PATH=~/Desktop/HiKey-16.06/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/:$PATH
#Check version
$ aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc --version

#### Step 4: Clone the Reference Platform kernel
- **96b-kernelci** is the development branch
- This branch will have the latest changes
- Use **96b/releases/2016.06** if you want the same version used by the 16.06 release
```shell
$ git clone -b 96b/releases/2016.06 http://github.com/96boards/linux.git
```
- Cloning the kernel may take a few minutes
- If you already have a local clone of another kernel git tree, use _--reference path/your/old/tree/.git_ for a faster clone process
- Once kernel source has been cloned cd into its directory
```shell
$ cd linux
```
#### Step 5: Set the right kernel .config file
- This step creates the '.config' file
- The .config file is used by the build system when compiling the kernel
- Current Reference Platform config can be made by using distro.config
- From with in kernel directory execute the following command:
```shell
$ cp arch/arm64/configs/distro.config .config
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- oldconfig
```
- New .config file will be hidden but can be seen by executing `ls -a` from within kernel folder
- To view all current configuration the .config file can be opened with a text editor such a `vim`
#### Step 6: Build kernel image and debian package
- This step will take some time (~20-30 minutes or more), depending on your cpu/memory
- Creating the kernel package is recommended for HiKey, as it supports Grub 2
```shell
#Replace X from -jX with the number of cores on your host computer
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- -jX deb-pkg LOCALVERSION=-yourowntag
```
#### Step 7: Find HiKey IP Address
- On your HiKey board
- Connect to the internet through WIFI
- Open one of the Terminal applications
```shell
$ /sbin/ifconfig
```
- Look for your `wlan0` connection
- Here you will see an `inet addr`
- This is your board's IP address and should look something like this: `192.168.0.10`
#### Step 8: Transfer the modules to the target HiKey
- Using your board's IP Address for linaro@<yourIPaddress>
```shell
$ scp ../linux-image-4.4.0-yourowntag.deb linaro@192.168.1.15:~/
$ ssh linaro@192.168.1.15
#HiKey shell
$ hikey $ sudo dpkg -i linux-image-4.4.0-yourowntag.deb
```
Congratulations! Your new kernel is now ready to be used by your HiKey.
- You can check `/boot/grub/grub.cfg` for the new boot entry based on your own kernel
- If you want only your kernel to be available, you can remove the default linux-image package, and grub will be automatically updated
### Boot Loader
Please see go [here](BuildSourceBL.md) for instructions on how to built the boot loader from source.
#### How to get and customize Debian packages source code
This release is based on Debian 8.2 "Jessie".
Since all packages installed in Linaro Debian-based images are maintained either in Debian archives or in Linaro repositories, it is possible for users to update their environment with commands such as:
```shell
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
```
All user space software is packaged using Debian packaging process. As such you can find extensive information about using, patching and building packages in The Debian New Maintainers Guide. If you quickly want to rebuild any package, you can run the following commands to fetch the package source code and install all build dependencies:
```shell
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get build-dep <pkg>
apt-get source <pkg>
```
Then you can rebuild the package locally with:
```shell
cd <pkg-version>
dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc
```

## Building from source
The source code is available from:
- [**l-loader**](https://github.com/96boards-hikey/l-loader)
- [**ARM Trusted Firmware**](https://github.com/96boards-hikey/arm-trusted-firmware)
- [**Tianocore EDK2 UEFI**](https://github.com/96boards-hikey/edk2) and [**OpenPlatformPkg**](https://github.com/96boards-hikey/OpenPlatformPkg)
Since GRUB2 is currently consumed directly from the Debian package, debian package rebuild instructions applies.
### Build instructions
Prerequisites:
- GCC 5.3 cross-toolchain for Aarch64 available in your PATH
- You can download and use the Linaro GCC binary (Linaro GCC 5.3-2016.02), available at [http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.3-2016.02/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz](http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.3-2016.02/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz)
- GCC 5.3 cross-toolchain for gnueabihf available in your PATH
- You can download and use the Linaro GCC binary (Linaro GCC 5.3-2016.02), available at [http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.3-2016.02/arm-linux-gnueabihf/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz](http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.3-2016.02/arm-linux-gnueabihf/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz)
- GPT fdisk (gdisk package from your favorite distribution).
#### Installing pre-built toolchain(s)
```shell
mkdir arm-tc arm64-tc
tar --strip-components=1 -C ${PWD}/arm-tc -xf gcc-linaro-5.3-*arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz
tar --strip-components=1 -C ${PWD}/arm64-tc -xf gcc-linaro-5.3-*aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz
export PATH="${PWD}/arm-tc/bin:${PWD}/arm64-tc/bin:$PATH"
```
#### Getting the source code
```shell
git clone -b hikey-aosp https://github.com/96boards-hikey/edk2.git
git clone -b hikey-aosp https://github.com/96boards-hikey/OpenPlatformPkg.git
git clone -b hikey https://github.com/96boards-hikey/arm-trusted-firmware.git
git clone https://github.com/96boards-hikey/l-loader.git
git clone git://git.linaro.org/uefi/uefi-tools.git
```
#### Building EDK2/UEFI for HiKey
Building EDK2/UEFI is simple if built with the _uefi-tools.sh_ script, since it already incorporates the platform specific configs and binaries.
To build EDK2/UEFI (use **-b** to select **RELEASE** or **DEBUG** build):
```shell
export AARCH64_TOOLCHAIN=GCC49
export EDK2_DIR=${PWD}/edk2
export ATF_DIR=${PWD}/arm-trusted-firmware
export UEFI_TOOLS_DIR=${PWD}/uefi-tools
cd ${EDK2_DIR}
rmdir OpenPlatformPkg; ln -s ../OpenPlatformPkg
${UEFI_TOOLS_DIR}/uefi-build.sh -b RELEASE -a ${ATF_DIR} hikey
```
And bl1.bin with l-loader (ptable files are also created as part of the l-loader Makefile):
```shell
cd ../l-loader
ln -s ${EDK2_DIR}/Build/HiKey/RELEASE_GCC49/FV/bl1.bin
ln -s ${EDK2_DIR}/Build/HiKey/RELEASE_GCC49/FV/fip.bin
make # requires sudo for creating the partition tables
```
The files 'fip.bin', 'l-loader.bin' and 'ptable-linux-8g.img' are now built. All the image files are in _$BUILD/l-loader_ directory. The Fastboot App is at _edk2/Build/HiKey/RELEASE_GCC49/AARCH64/AndroidFastbootApp.efi_.
#### EFI boot partition
The boot partition is a 64MB FAT partition only contains fastboot.efi and GRUB2, since the grub.cfg, kernel, initrd and device tree are all loaded from the root file system (grubaa64.efi searches for rootfs label/boot/grub/grub.cfg).
```shell
wget https://builds.96boards.org/snapshots/reference-platform/components/grub/latest/grubaa64.efi
mkdir boot-fat
dd if=/dev/zero of=boot-fat.uefi.img bs=512 count=131072
sudo mkfs.fat -n "boot" boot-fat.uefi.img
sudo mount -o loop,rw,sync boot-fat.uefi.img boot-fat
sudo mkdir -p boot-fat/EFI/BOOT
sudo cp ${EDK2_DIR}/Build/HiKey/RELEASE_GCC49/AARCH64/AndroidFastbootApp.efi boot-fat/EFI/BOOT/fastboot.efi
sudo cp grubaa64.efi boot-fat/EFI/BOOT/grubaa64.efi
sudo umount boot-fat
sudo mv boot-fat.uefi.img hikey-boot-linux-VERSION.uefi.img
rm -rf boot-fat
```
Now just flash the recently created 'hikey-boot-linux-VERSION.uefi.img' with the same instructions as used with the pre-built binaries.

### LeMaker Cello
***
### Critical Bug List
As both USB and the PCIe slot are not yet functional (hardware issues), the only way to currently start the installer is via SATA (CD-ROM, or flashed in a SATA disk). Once the Realtek UEFI driver gets integrated as part of OpenPlatformPkg, it will also be possible to PXE boot the installer.
Please also check bugs [2194](https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2194), [2195](https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2195) and [2196](https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2196) for the known issues.
### Boot Firmware
The [UEFI/EDK2 guide for EE](../UEFI-EDK2-Guide-EE.md) provides information on how to flash the boot firmware for Cello (Tianocore EDK2).
### Reference Platform Kernel
The Reference Platform kernel used by the enterprise release can be found on [github.com/96boards/linux](https://github.com/96boards/linux/tree/96b/releases/2016.06)
Since we use the same kernel config with all our builds and distributions, it is also available as part of the same kernel tree, and can be found at [arch/arm64/configs/distro.config](https://github.com/96boards/linux/blob/96b/releases/2016.06/arch/arm64/configs/distro.config).
At the time of the 16.06 release, the kernel is based on *4.4.11*.
### Quick Start
Booting from the network is not yet supported due lack of a binary UEFI driver for RTL8111GS, so installing from a physical medium is required (CD-ROM, SATA disk). USB and micro SD is not yet recognized by the UEFI firmware.
##### Flashing the firmware
Follow the instructions available as part of the [UEFI EDK2 Guide](../UEFI-EDK2-Guide-EE.md#amd-overdrive) in order to flash your LeMaker Cello. The tested flashing process requires [DediProg SF100](http://www.dediprog.com/pd/spi-flash-solution/SF100) or [SPI Hook](http://www.tincantools.com/SPI_Hook.html).
### Distro Installers
Install instructions for the tested/supported distributions:
* [Debian 8.x 'Jessie'](../Install-Debian-Jessie.md#loading-debian-installer-from-the-minimal-cd) - Using the minimum ISO
* [CentOS 7](../Install-CentOS-7.md)
#### Other distributions
Only Debian and CentOS are officially released and validated as part of the reference software platform project, but other distributions can be easily supported as well (just need kernel and installer changes).
Extra resources for other distributions:
* [Fedora 23](../Install-Fedora-23.md)
### Enterprise Software Components
#### OpenStack
Follow the [instructions](../OpenStack-Liberty.md) on how to install and run OpenStack Liberty on Debian Jessie.
#### Hadoop (ODPi BigTop)
##### Installation
Follow the [instructions](../ODPi-Hadoop-Installation.md) to install ODPi BigTop Hadoop
##### Setup and Running Hadoop
Follow the [instructions](../ODPi-BigTop-Hadoop-Config-Run.md) to configure and install Hadoop

#### Building the Linux kernel from source
The Linux kernel used in this release is available via tags in the git [repository](https://github.com/96boards/linux)
```shell
git: https://github.com/96boards/linux
Dynamic tag: 96b-kernelci
Fixed tag: 96b/releases/2016.06
defconfig: arch/arm64/defconfig kernel/configs/distro.config
```
The kernel image (`Image`) is located in the `boot` image and partition and the kernel modules are installed in the root file system. It is possible for a user to rebuild the kernel and run a custom kernel image instead of the released kernel. You can build the kernel using any recent GCC release using the git tree, tag and defconfig mentioned above. This release only supports booting with device tree, as such both the device tree blobs need to be built as well.
The DragonBoard 410c is an ARMv8 platform, and the kernel is compiled for the Aarch64 target. Even though it is possible to build natively, on the target board, It is recommended to build the Linux kernel on a PC development host. In which case you need to install a cross compiler for the ARM architecture. It is recommended to download the Linaro GCC cross compiler [Aarch64 little-endian](http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/latest-5.1/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-5.1-2015.08-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz).
To build the Linux kernel, you can use the following instructions:
#### Step 1: Setting up your environment on your host computer
- Open your Terminal and cd into your desired directory
- Make a new folder using `mkdir` and call is something relevant
```shell
#Example of desired directory
$ cd ~/Desktop
#Example of relevant folder
$ mkdir DB410c-16.06
$ cd DB410c-16.06
```
#### Step 2: Download the Linaro cross compiler toolchain and Skales Tool
- From within the directory you just made
- Download and unzip by executing the following commands
###### Linaro Cross Compiler
```shell
#Download
$ wget http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/latest-5.1/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-5.1-2015.08-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz
#Unzip
$ tar -Jxvf gcc-linaro-5.1-2015.08-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz
```
###### Skales tool
```shell
$ sudo apt-get install libfdt-dev
$ git clone git://codeaurora.org/quic/kernel/skales /tmp/skales
$ export PATH=$PATH:/tmp/skales
```
>Skales will be used later when creating the device tree
#### Step 3: Export path to cross compiler tool and confirm version
- Exporting path will allow build system can find and use the right kernel
```shell
#Create path
$ export PATH=gcc-linaro-5.1-2015.08-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/:$PATH
#Check version
$ aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc --version
aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc (Linaro GCC 5.1-2015.08) 5.1.1 20150608
Copyright (C) 2015 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO
warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
```
#### Step 4: Clone the Reference Platform kernel
- **96b-kernelci** is the development branch
- This branch will have the latest changes
```shell
$ git clone -b 96b-kernelci http://github.com/96boards/linux.git
```
- Cloning the kernel may take a few minutes
- Once kernel source has been cloned cd into its directory
```shell
$ cd kernel
```
#### Step 5: Set the right kernel .config file
- This step creates the '.config' file
- The .config file is used by the build system when compiling the kernel
- Current Reference Platform config can be made by using distro.config
- From with in kernel directory execute the following command:
```shell
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- defconfig distro.config
```
- New .config file will be hidden but can be seen by executing `ls -a` from within kernel folder
- To view all current configuration the .config file can be opened with a text editor such a `vim`
#### Step 6: Build kernel image
- This step will take some time (~20-30 minutes or more), depending on your cpu/memory
```shell
#Replace X from -jX with the number of cores on your host computer
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- -jX
```
#### Step 7: Copy Modules
- Modules must be local (host computer) before transferring to target device
- Still within linux directory
- Make temp folder
- Create modules
```shell
$ mk tmp/modules
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/tmp/modules INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1
```
#### Step 8: Find kernel release string
- This was created during the kernel build
- In this example the kernel.release is 4.4.0+
```shell
$ cat include/config/kernel.release
#Output
$ 4.4.0+
```
#### Step 9: Generate modules.dep and map files
- Helps kernel find modules when system boots
- Note: `4.4.0+` was the output from `cat include/config/kernel.release` in Step 8
```shell
$ depmod -a -b /tmp/modules 4.4.0+
```
#### Step 10: Find DragonBoard™ 410c IP Address
- On your DragonBoard™ 410c
- Connect to the internet through WIFI
- Open one of the Terminal applications
```shell
$ /sbin/ifconfig
```
- Look for your `wlan0` connection
- Here you will see an `inet addr`
- This is your board's IP address and should look something like this: `192.168.0.10`
#### Step 11: Transfer the modules to the target DragonBoard™ 410c
- Using your board's IP Address for linaro@<yourIPaddress>
```shell
$ tar -cjf /tmp/modules.tar.bz2 -C /tmp modules
$ scp /tmp/modules.tar.bz2 linaro@192.168.1.15:~/
$ ssh linaro@192.168.1.15
#DragonBoard™ 410c shell
db410c $ tar -jxvf modules.tar.bz2
db410c $ sudo cp -r modules/lib/modules/4.4.0+ /lib/modules/
```
#### Step 12: Generate the initramfs
- You should still be in the DragonBoard™ 410c shell
```shell
db410c $ sudo update-initramfs -k 4.4.0+ -c
```
- Copy back the new initramfs
- This will be used when creating the boot.mg
#### Step 13: Create the device tree image and boot image
###### Device tree
```shell
$ dtbTool -o dt.img -s 2048 arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom
```
###### Boot image
```shell
$ mkbootimg --kernel arch/arm64/boot/Image --ramdisk initrd.img-4.4.0+ --output boot.img --dt dt.img --pagesize "2048" --base "0x80000000" --cmdline "root=/dev/disk/by-partlabel/rootfs rw rootwait console=tty0 console=ttyMSM0,115200n8"
```
Congratulations! Boot image is now ready to be flashed to your DragonBoard™ 410c.
- Flashing the boot image can be done using fastboot
- Board must be booted into fastboot mode
- With USB to microUSB cable still connect execute the following:
```shell
$ sudo fastboot flash boot boot.img
$ sudo fastboot reboot
```

### How to get and customize the bootloader
While the first stage bootloader is proprietary and released as firmware blob available on [Qualcomm Developer Network](https://developer.qualcomm.com/download/linux-ubuntu-board-support-package-v1.zip), the second stage bootloader is `LK` and is open source.
The original LK source code is available on [CodeAurora.org](https://www.codeaurora.org/cgit/quic/la/kernel/lk/), and the source code which is used in this release can be found in the [Linaro Qualcomm Landing Team git repository](https://git.linaro.org/landing-teams/working/qualcomm/lk.git):
```shell
git: http://git.linaro.org/landing-teams/working/qualcomm/lk.git
tag: ubuntu-qcom-dragonboard410c-LA.BR.1.2.4-00310-8x16.0-linaro1
```
To build the LK bootloader, you can use the following instructions:
```shell
git clone git://codeaurora.org/platform/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.8.git -b LA.BR.1.1.3.c4-01000-8x16.0
git clone http://git.linaro.org/landing-teams/working/qualcomm/lk.git -b ubuntu-qcom-dragonboard410c-LA.BR.1.2.4-00310-8x16.0-linaro1
cd lk
make -j4 msm8916 EMMC_BOOT=1 TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX=<path to arm-eabi-4.8 tree>/bin/arm-eabi-
```
The second stage bootloader is flashed on the `about` partition, you can now flash your board with:
```shell
sudo fastboot aboot ./build-msm8916/emmc_appsboot.mbn
```
#### How to get and customize Debian packages source code
This release is based on Debian 8.2 "Jessie".
Since all packages installed in Linaro Debian-based images are maintained either in Debian archives or in Linaro repositories, it is possible for users to update their environment with commands such as:
```shell
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
```
All user space software is packaged using Debian packaging process. As such you can find extensive information about using, patching and building packages in The Debian New Maintainers Guide. If you quickly want to rebuild any package, you can run the following commands to fetch the package source code and install all build dependencies:
```shell
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get build-dep <pkg>
apt-get source <pkg>
```
Then you can rebuild the package locally with:
```
cd <pkg-version>
dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc
```
#### TO-DO
- Explain how to build the rootfs from source

This page provides instructions to get started with OpenEmbedded and the Yocto Project on the DragonBoard 410c.
# Introduction
This wiki is not an introduction on OpenEmbedded or Yocto Project. If you are not familiar with OpenEmbedded and the Yocto Project, it is very much recommended to read the appropriate documentation first. For example, you can start with:
* http://openembedded.org/wiki/Main_Page
* http://yoctoproject.org/
* https://www.yoctoproject.org/documentation
In this wiki, we assume that the reader is familiar with basic concepts of OpenEmbedded.
The support for DragonBoard 410c is available in the [meta-qcom BSP layer](http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-qcom).
This layer has been tested with OpenEmbedded Core layer, and is expected to work with any other standard layers and of course any OpenEmbedded based distributions.
The Linux kernel used for the DragonBoard 410c is the Linaro Landing team kernel, e.g. the same kernel used for the Linaro Linux release builds. The graphic stack is based on mesa, using the freedreno driver.
# Package Dependencies
In order to successfully set up your build environment, you will need to install the following package dependencies.
**Step 1**: You will need git installed on your Linux host machine
`$ sudo apt-get install git`
**Step 2**: Visit the OpenEmbedded (Getting Started) wiki to see which distribution specific dependencies you will need
http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Getting_started
**Step 3**: Install 96Boards specific dependencies (Case specific)
Setting up the build environment will first search for `whiptail`, if it is not present then it will search for `dialog`. You only need one of the following packages to ensure your setup-environement runs correctly:
`$ sudo apt-get install whiptail`
or
`$ sudo apt-get install dialog`
**Please Note**: If you are running Ubuntu 16.04 you will need to add the following line to your `/etc/apt/sources.list`
`deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial universe`
```shell
$ cd /etc/apt/
#vim text editor is used in this example
#sudo is used to allow editing, sources.list is set to read only
$ sudo vim sources.list
```
All required dependencies should now be installed on your host environment, you are ready to begin your build environment setup.
# Setup the build environment
The Qualcomm BSP layer can be used with any OE based distribution, such as Poky. The following instructions are provided to get started with 96boards Open Embedded Reference Software Platforms.
To manage the various git trees and the OpenEmbedded environment, a repo manifest is provided. If you do not have `repo` installed on your host machine, you first need to install it, using the following instructions (or similar):
mkdir -p ${HOME}/bin
curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ${HOME}/bin/repo
chmod a+x ${HOME}/bin/repo
export PATH=${HOME}/bin:${PATH}
To initialize your build environment, you need to run:
mkdir oe-qcom && cd oe-qcom
repo init -u https://github.com/96boards/oe-rpb-manifest.git -b jethro
repo sync
source setup-environment [<build folder>]
* after the command `repo sync` returns, all the OpenEmbedded recipes have been downloaded locally.
* you will be prompted to choose the target machine, pick `dragonboard-410c`
* you will be prompted to choose the distro, for now, it is recommended to use 'rpb'
* <build folder> is optional, if missing it will default to `build-$DISTRO`
The script `setup-environment` will create sane default configuration files in <build folder>/conf, you can inspect them and modify them if needed. Note that conf/local.conf and conf/bblayers.conf are symlink , and under source control. So it is generally better not to modify them, and use conf/site.conf and conf/auto.conf instead.
# Build a minimal, console-only image
To build a console image, you can run:
$ bitbake rpb-console-image
At the end of the build, your build artifacts will be found in `tmp-eglibc/deploy/images/dragonboard-410c`. The two artifacts you will use to update your DragonBoard are:
* `rpb-console-image-dragonboard-410c.ext4.gz` and
* `boot-dragonboard-410c.img`
# Bootloaders and eMMC partitions
Build artifacts from your OE build will be flashed into the DragonBoard's on-board eMMC (in contrast to some other boards which run their images from an SDcard). The OpenEmbedded BSP layer assumes that the _Linux_ Bootloaders and eMMC partition layout are used on the DragonBoard 410c (not the _Android_ ones; by default DragonBoards come pre-configured with the Android eMMC partition layout). You can download the latest Linux bootloader package from [here](http://builds.96boards.org/releases/dragonboard410c/linaro/rescue/latest/) to your development host, it will be named something like `dragonboard410c_bootloader_emmc_linux-<version>.zip`.
Whether your DragonBoard is using the Android eMMC partition layout or the Linux partition eMMC layout, you will use the Android `fastboot` utility on your development host for managing the board's eMMC partitions. If you are using a relatively recent Linux distribution on your development host, it probably already has a package that includes the `fastboot` utility (it might be named something like `android-tools` or `android-tools-fastboot`) so go ahead and install it on your development host. In order for your development host's fastboot utility to interact with the DragonBoard, the DragonBoard must be booted into a special `fastboot mode`. The procedure to do so is as follows:
* remove power from your DragonBoard
* plug a USB cable from your development host to your DragonBoard's J4 connector
* while holding down S4 on the DragonBoard (the one marked "(-)"), insert the power adapter
* after a few seconds you can release S4
To verify your cables and that the above procedure worked, on your development host run:
# sudo fastboot devices
and you should get a non-empty response, e.g.
# sudo fastboot devices
83581d40 fastboot
If this is your first time using a particular DragonBoard, you will need to switch its eMMC partition layout to the Linux layout, but this procedure only needs to be done once for a given board. After switching your layout, you only have to update your board with your latest build artifacts.
The procedure for updating your eMMC partitions is as follows. Put your DragonBoard into `fastboot mode` (see procedure above) then perform these steps on your development host:
* download the latest Linux bootloader package (e.g. `dragonboard410c_bootloader_emmc_linux-<version>.zip`)
* unzip its contents
* run the `flashall` script (as root) that you will find after unzipping the Linux bootloader package
At this point your eMMC has the following partition layout:
* `/dev/mmcblk0p7` , aka `aboot` is used for the bootloader (LK/fastboot)
* `/dev/mmcblk0p8` , aka `boot` is used for the boot image (kernel, device tree, initrd)
* `/dev/mmcblk0p10` , aka `rootfs` is used for the root file system
# Flashing build artifacts
In the following description, replace `image` with the name of the image you built. For example: if you built `rpb-console-image` then `image` will be `rpb-console-image`.
At the end of any successful build you will end up with the following artifacts (amongst others)
* `image-dragonboard-410c.ext4.gz` and
* `boot-dragonboard-410c.img`
These will be found in your `tmp-eglibc/deploy/images/dragonboard-410c` directory.
To install these to your DragonBoard's eMMC from your development host:
# gzip -d < image-dragonboard-410c.ext4.gz > image-dragonboard-410c.ext4
# fastboot flash rootfs image-dragonboard-410c.ext4
# fastboot flash boot boot-dragonboard-410c.img
# Proprietary firmware blob
When running the `setup-environment` script, you were asked to read/accept the Qualcomm EULA. The EULA is required to access the proprietary firmware, such as the GPU firmware , WLAN, ...
If you accepted the EULA, when building an image for DragonBoard 410c all proprietary firmware are installed automatically in `/lib/firmware`, and a copy of the EULA is added as '/etc/license.txt`.
If you did not accept the EULA, the firmware are not downloaded, and not installed into the image. You can manually manage the firmware and download them separately from [Qualcomm Developer Network](https://developer.qualcomm.com/download/linux-ubuntu-board-support-package-v1.1.zip).
# Build a simple X11 image
To build an X11 image with GPU hardware accelerated support run:
$ bitbake rpb-desktop-image
At the end of the build, the root file system image will be available as `tmp-eglibc/deploy/images/dragonboard-410c/rpb-desktop-image-dragonboard-410c.ext4.gz`.
Then you can finally start the X server, and run any graphical application:
X&
export DISPLAY=:0
glxgears
The default X11 image includes `openbox` window manager, to use it:
X&
export DISPLAY=:0
openbox &
glxgears
Of course, you can easily add another window manager, such as `metacity` in the image. To install `metacity` in the image, add the following to `conf/auto.conf` file:
CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "metacity"
and rebuild the `rpb-desktop-image` image, it will now include `metacity`, which can be started like this:
X&
export DISPLAY=:0
metacity&
glxgears
# Build a sample Wayland/Weston image
For Wayland/weston, it is recommended to change the DISTRO and use `rpb-wayland` instead of `rpb`. The main reason is that in the `rpb-wayland` distro, the support for X11 is completely removed. So , in a new terminal prompt, setup a new environment and make sure to use `rpb-wayland` for DISTRO, then, you can run a sample image with:
$ bitbake rpb-weston-image
This image includes a few additional features, such as `systemd`, `connman` which makes it simpler to use. Once built, the image will be available at `tmp-eglibc/deploy/images/dragonboard-410c/rpb-weston-image-dragonboard-410c.ext4.gz`. And it can be flashed into `rootfs` partition.
If you boot this image on the board, you should get a command prompt on the HDMI monitor. A user called `linaro` exists (and has no password). Once logged in a VT, you run start weston with:
weston-launch
And that should get you to the Weston desktop shell.

***
#### Step 4: Install Android using Fastboot with Linux host
This section show how to install the Android operating system to your DragonBoard™ 410c using the fastboot method on a Mac OS X host computer.
1 - **Make sure fastboot is set up on host computer**
- Android SDK “Tools only” for Linux can be downloaded <a href="http://developer.android.com/sdk" target="_blank">here</a>
- The Linux “Tools Only” SDK download does not come with fastboot, you will need to use the Android SDK Manager to install platform-tools.

#### Step 1: Read about the Fastboot Method
Fastboot is supported by the board and can be used for installs. This is for advanced users who are most likely modifying/customizing source code and will need to download such updates to the board for test/execution.
This method requires the following hardware:
- DragonBoard™ 410c with power supply
- Host machine (Linux, Mac OS X, or Windows)
- USB to microUSB cable
- USB Mouse and/or keyboard (not required to perform flash)
- HDMI Monitor with full size HDMI cable (not required to perform flash)
***
#### Step 2: Download Debian Bootloader
- Debian Bootloader ([Direct Download](https://builds.96boards.org/releases/dragonboard410c/linaro/rescue/latest/dragonboard410c_bootloader_emmc_linux-*.zip) / <a href="https://builds.96boards.org/releases/dragonboard410c/linaro/rescue/latest/" target="_blank">Build Folder</a> )
#### Step 3: Download Boot image and Root file system
- Debian Boot ([Direct Download](https://builds.96boards.org/snapshots/reference-platform/debian/117/dragonboard410c/dragonboard410c-boot-linux-*.img.gz) / <a href="https://builds.96boards.org/snapshots/reference-platform/debian/117/dragonboard410c/" target="_blank">Build Folder</a> )

## OpenEmbedded RPB 16.03 - Build from Source
This page provides instructions to get started with OpenEmbedded and the Yocto Project on the DragonBoard 410c.
# Introduction
This wiki is not an introduction on OpenEmbedded or Yocto Project. If you are not familiar with OpenEmbedded and the Yocto Project, it is very much recommended to read the appropriate documentation first. For example, you can start with:
* http://openembedded.org/wiki/Main_Page
* http://yoctoproject.org/
* https://www.yoctoproject.org/documentation
In this wiki, we assume that the reader is familiar with basic concepts of OpenEmbedded.
The support for DragonBoard 410c is available in the [meta-qcom BSP layer](http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-qcom).
This layer has been tested with OpenEmbedded Core layer, and is expected to work with any other standard layers and of course any OpenEmbedded based distributions.
The Linux kernel used for the DragonBoard 410c is the Linaro Landing team kernel, e.g. the same kernel used for the Linaro Linux release builds. The graphic stack is based on mesa, using the freedreno driver.
## OE Layers
| Layer | Description |
|:-----------------------:|:----------------------|
| OE-Core (Base layer) | This is the main collaboration point when working on OpenEmbedded projects and is part of the core recipes. The goal of this layer is to have just enough recipes to build a basic system, this means keeping it as small as possible. |
| Meta-rpb (Distro layer) | This is a very small layer where the distro configurations live. Currently it houses both Reference Platform Build and Wayland Reference Platform Builds. |
| Meta-oe | This layer houses many useful, but sometimes unmaintained recipes. Since the reduction in recipes to the core, meta-oe was created for everything else. There are currently approximately 650 recipes in this layer. |
| Meta-browser | This layer holds the recipes for Firefox and Chromium. Both recipes require a lot of maintenance, because of this a seperate layer was created. |
| Meta-qt5 | This is a cross-platform toolkit. |
| Meta-linaro | This layer is used to get the Linaro toolchain. |
| Meta-linaro-backports | This is an experimental layer used to get newer versions into the build which were not part of the release. |
| Meta-96Boards | This support layer is managed by Linaro and intended for boards that do not have their own board support layer. Currently used for the HiKey Consumer edition board, and eventually the Bubblegum-96 board. If a vendor does not support their own layer, it can be added to this layer. |
| Meta-qcom (BSP) | This is the board support layer for Qualcomm boards. Currently supports IFC6410 and the DragonBoard 410c. |
# Package Dependencies
In order to successfully set up your build environment, you will need to install the following package dependencies.
**Step 1**: You will need git installed on your Linux host machine
`$ sudo apt-get install git`
**Step 2**: Visit the OpenEmbedded (Getting Started) wiki to see which distribution specific dependencies you will need
http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Getting_started
**Step 3**: Install 96Boards specific dependencies (Case specific)
Setting up the build environment will first search for `whiptail`, if it is not present then it will search for `dialog`. You only need one of the following packages to ensure your setup-environement runs correctly:
`$ sudo apt-get install whiptail`
or
`$ sudo apt-get install dialog`
**Please Note**: If you are running Ubuntu 16.04 you will need to add the following line to your `/etc/apt/sources.list`
`deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial universe`
```shell
$ cd /etc/apt/
#vim text editor is used in this example
#sudo is used to allow editing, sources.list is set to read only
$ sudo vim sources.list
```
All required dependencies should now be installed on your host environment, you are ready to begin your build environment setup.
# Setup the build environment
The Qualcomm BSP layer can be used with any OE based distribution, such as Poky. The following instructions are provided to get started with 96boards Open Embedded Reference Software Platforms.
To manage the various git trees and the OpenEmbedded environment, a repo manifest is provided. If you do not have `repo` installed on your host machine, you first need to install it, using the following instructions (or similar):
mkdir -p ${HOME}/bin
curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ${HOME}/bin/repo
chmod a+x ${HOME}/bin/repo
export PATH=${HOME}/bin:${PATH}
To initialize your build environment, you need to run:
mkdir oe-qcom && cd oe-qcom
repo init -u https://github.com/96boards/oe-rpb-manifest.git -b jethro
repo sync
source setup-environment [<build folder>]
* after the command `repo sync` returns, all the OpenEmbedded recipes have been downloaded locally.
* you will be prompted to choose the target machine, pick `dragonboard-410c`
* you will be prompted to choose the distro, for now, it is recommended to use 'rpb'
* <build folder> is optional, if missing it will default to `build-$DISTRO`
The script `setup-environment` will create sane default configuration files in <build folder>/conf, you can inspect them and modify them if needed. Note that conf/local.conf and conf/bblayers.conf are symlink , and under source control. So it is generally better not to modify them, and use conf/site.conf and conf/auto.conf instead.
# Build a minimal, console-only image
To build a console image, you can run:
$ bitbake rpb-console-image
At the end of the build, your build artifacts will be found in `tmp-eglibc/deploy/images/dragonboard-410c`. The two artifacts you will use to update your DragonBoard are:
* `rpb-console-image-dragonboard-410c.ext4.gz` and
* `boot-dragonboard-410c.img`
# Bootloaders and eMMC partitions
Build artifacts from your OE build will be flashed into the DragonBoard's on-board eMMC (in contrast to some other boards which run their images from an SDcard). The OpenEmbedded BSP layer assumes that the _Linux_ Bootloaders and eMMC partition layout are used on the DragonBoard 410c (not the _Android_ ones; by default DragonBoards come pre-configured with the Android eMMC partition layout). You can download the latest Linux bootloader package from [here](http://builds.96boards.org/releases/dragonboard410c/linaro/rescue/latest/) to your development host, it will be named something like `dragonboard410c_bootloader_emmc_linux-<version>.zip`.
Whether your DragonBoard is using the Android eMMC partition layout or the Linux partition eMMC layout, you will use the Android `fastboot` utility on your development host for managing the board's eMMC partitions. If you are using a relatively recent Linux distribution on your development host, it probably already has a package that includes the `fastboot` utility (it might be named something like `android-tools` or `android-tools-fastboot`) so go ahead and install it on your development host. In order for your development host's fastboot utility to interact with the DragonBoard, the DragonBoard must be booted into a special `fastboot mode`. The procedure to do so is as follows:
* remove power from your DragonBoard
* plug a USB cable from your development host to your DragonBoard's J4 connector
* while holding down S4 on the DragonBoard (the one marked "(-)"), insert the power adapter
* after a few seconds you can release S4
To verify your cables and that the above procedure worked, on your development host run:
# sudo fastboot devices
and you should get a non-empty response, e.g.
# sudo fastboot devices
83581d40 fastboot
If this is your first time using a particular DragonBoard, you will need to switch its eMMC partition layout to the Linux layout, but this procedure only needs to be done once for a given board. After switching your layout, you only have to update your board with your latest build artifacts.
The procedure for updating your eMMC partitions is as follows. Put your DragonBoard into `fastboot mode` (see procedure above) then perform these steps on your development host:
* download the latest Linux bootloader package (e.g. `dragonboard410c_bootloader_emmc_linux-<version>.zip`)
* unzip its contents
* run the `flashall` script (as root) that you will find after unzipping the Linux bootloader package
At this point your eMMC has the following partition layout:
* `/dev/mmcblk0p7` , aka `aboot` is used for the bootloader (LK/fastboot)
* `/dev/mmcblk0p8` , aka `boot` is used for the boot image (kernel, device tree, initrd)
* `/dev/mmcblk0p10` , aka `rootfs` is used for the root file system
# Flashing build artifacts
In the following description, replace `image` with the name of the image you built. For example: if you built `rpb-console-image` then `image` will be `rpb-console-image`.
At the end of any successful build you will end up with the following artifacts (amongst others)
* `image-dragonboard-410c.ext4.gz` and
* `boot-dragonboard-410c.img`
These will be found in your `tmp-eglibc/deploy/images/dragonboard-410c` directory.
To install these to your DragonBoard's eMMC from your development host:
# gzip -d < image-dragonboard-410c.ext4.gz > image-dragonboard-410c.ext4
# fastboot flash rootfs image-dragonboard-410c.ext4
# fastboot flash boot boot-dragonboard-410c.img
# Proprietary firmware blob
When running the `setup-environment` script, you were asked to read/accept the Qualcomm EULA. The EULA is required to access the proprietary firmware, such as the GPU firmware , WLAN, ...
If you accepted the EULA, when building an image for DragonBoard 410c all proprietary firmware are installed automatically in `/lib/firmware`, and a copy of the EULA is added as '/etc/license.txt`.
If you did not accept the EULA, the firmware are not downloaded, and not installed into the image. You can manually manage the firmware and download them separately from [Qualcomm Developer Network](https://developer.qualcomm.com/download/linux-ubuntu-board-support-package-v1.1.zip).
# Build a simple X11 image
To build an X11 image with GPU hardware accelerated support run:
$ bitbake rpb-desktop-image
At the end of the build, the root file system image will be available as `tmp-eglibc/deploy/images/dragonboard-410c/rpb-desktop-image-dragonboard-410c.ext4.gz`.
Then you can finally start the X server, and run any graphical application:
X&
export DISPLAY=:0
glxgears
The default X11 image includes `openbox` window manager, to use it:
X&
export DISPLAY=:0
openbox &
glxgears
Of course, you can easily add another window manager, such as `metacity` in the image. To install `metacity` in the image, add the following to `conf/auto.conf` file:
CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "metacity"
and rebuild the `rpb-desktop-image` image, it will now include `metacity`, which can be started like this:
X&
export DISPLAY=:0
metacity&
glxgears
# Build a sample Wayland/Weston image
For Wayland/weston, it is recommended to change the DISTRO and use `rpb-wayland` instead of `rpb`. The main reason is that in the `rpb-wayland` distro, the support for X11 is completely removed. So , in a new terminal prompt, setup a new environment and make sure to use `rpb-wayland` for DISTRO, then, you can run a sample image with:
$ bitbake rpb-weston-image
This image includes a few additional features, such as `systemd`, `connman` which makes it simpler to use. Once built, the image will be available at `tmp-eglibc/deploy/images/dragonboard-410c/rpb-weston-image-dragonboard-410c.ext4.gz`. And it can be flashed into `rootfs` partition.
If you boot this image on the board, you should get a command prompt on the HDMI monitor. A user called `linaro` exists (and has no password). Once logged in a VT, you run start weston with:
weston-launch
And that should get you to the Weston desktop shell.

- Step 11: Transfer the modules to the target HiKey
- Step 12: Generate the initramfs
- Step 13: Create the device tree image and boot image
- Customize Bootloader
- Build Rootfs from source
***
#### Building the Linux kernel from source
The Linux kernel used in this release is available via tags in the git [repository](https://github.com/96boards/linux)
```shell
git: https://github.com/96boards/linux
Dynamic tag: 96b-kernelci
Fixed tag: 96b/releases/2016.06
defconfig: arch/arm64/configs/distro.config
```
The kernel image (`Image`) and the kernel modules are installed in the root file system (e.g. `/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-104-arm64` and `/lib/modules/4.4.0-104-arm64`). It is possible for a user to rebuild the kernel and run a custom kernel image instead of the released kernel. You can build the kernel using any recent GCC release using the git tree, tag and defconfig mentioned above. This release only supports booting with device tree, as such both the device tree blobs need to be built as well.
The HiKey is an ARMv8 platform, and the kernel is compiled for the Aarch64 target. Even though it is possible to build natively, on the target board, It is recommended to build the Linux kernel on a PC development host. In which case you need to install a cross compiler for the ARM architecture. It is recommended to download the Linaro GCC cross compiler [Aarch64 little-endian](http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.3-2016.02/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz), also available [here](http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.3-2016.02/)
To build the Linux kernel, you can use the following instructions:
#### Step 1: Setting up your environment on your host computer
- Open your Terminal and cd into your desired directory
- Make a new folder using `mkdir`, name it something relevant
```shell
#Example of desired directory
$ cd ~/Desktop
#Example of relevant folder
$ mkdir HiKey-16.06
$ cd HiKey-16.06
```
#### Step 2: Step 2: Download the Linaro cross compiler toolchain
- From within the directory you just made
- Download and unzip by executing the following commands
###### Linaro Cross Compiler
```shell
#Download
$ wget http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.3-2016.02/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz
#Unzip
$ tar -Jxvf gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz
```
#### Step 3: Export path to cross compiler tool and confirm version
- Exporting path will allow build system can find and use the right kernel
```shell
#Create path
$ export PATH=~/Desktop/HiKey-16.06/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/:$PATH
#Check version
$ aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc --version
aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc (Linaro GCC 5.3-2016.02) 5.3.1 20160113
Copyright (C) 2015 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO
warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
```
#### Step 4: Clone the Reference Platform kernel
- **96b-kernelci** is the development branch
- This branch will have the latest changes
- Use **96b/releases/2016.06** if you want the same version used by the 16.06 release
```shell
$ git clone -b 96b/releases/2016.06 http://github.com/96boards/linux.git
```
- Cloning the kernel may take a few minutes
- If you already have a local clone of another kernel git tree, use _--reference path/your/old/tree/.git_ for a faster clone process
- Once kernel source has been cloned cd into its directory
```shell
$ cd linux
```
#### Step 5: Set the right kernel .config file
- This step creates the '.config' file
- The .config file is used by the build system when compiling the kernel
- Current Reference Platform config can be made by using distro.config
- From with in kernel directory execute the following command:
```shell
$ cp arch/arm64/configs/distro.config .config
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- oldconfig
```
- New .config file will be hidden but can be seen by executing `ls -a` from within kernel folder
- To view all current configuration the .config file can be opened with a text editor such a `vim`
#### Step 6: Build kernel image and debian package
- This step will take some time (~20-30 minutes or more), depending on your cpu/memory
- Creating the kernel package is recommended for HiKey, as it supports Grub 2
```shell
#Replace X from -jX with the number of cores on your host computer
$ make ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- -jX deb-pkg LOCALVERSION=-yourowntag
```
#### Step 7: Find HiKey IP Address
- On your HiKey board
- Connect to the internet through WIFI
- Open one of the Terminal applications
```shell
$ /sbin/ifconfig
```
- Look for your `wlan0` connection
- Here you will see an `inet addr`
- This is your board's IP address and should look something like this: `192.168.0.10`
#### Step 8: Transfer the modules to the target HiKey
- Using your board's IP Address for linaro@<yourIPaddress>
```shell
$ scp ../linux-image-4.4.0-yourowntag.deb linaro@192.168.1.15:~/
$ ssh linaro@192.168.1.15
#HiKey shell
$ hikey $ sudo dpkg -i linux-image-4.4.0-yourowntag.deb
```
Congratulations! Your new kernel is now ready to be used by your HiKey.
- You can check `/boot/grub/grub.cfg` for the new boot entry based on your own kernel
- If you want only your kernel to be available, you can remove the default linux-image package, and grub will be automatically updated
### Boot Loader
Please see go [here](BuildSourceBL.md) for instructions on how to built the boot loader from source.
#### How to get and customize Debian packages source code
This release is based on Debian 8.2 "Jessie".
Since all packages installed in Linaro Debian-based images are maintained either in Debian archives or in Linaro repositories, it is possible for users to update their environment with commands such as:
```shell
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
```
All user space software is packaged using Debian packaging process. As such you can find extensive information about using, patching and building packages in The Debian New Maintainers Guide. If you quickly want to rebuild any package, you can run the following commands to fetch the package source code and install all build dependencies:
```shell
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get build-dep <pkg>
apt-get source <pkg>
```
Then you can rebuild the package locally with:
```shell
cd <pkg-version>
dpkg-buildpackage -b -us -uc
```

## Building from source
The source code is available from:
- [**l-loader**](https://github.com/96boards-hikey/l-loader)
- [**ARM Trusted Firmware**](https://github.com/96boards-hikey/arm-trusted-firmware)
- [**Tianocore EDK2 UEFI**](https://github.com/96boards-hikey/edk2) and [**OpenPlatformPkg**](https://github.com/96boards-hikey/OpenPlatformPkg)
Since GRUB2 is currently consumed directly from the Debian package, debian package rebuild instructions applies.
### Build instructions
Prerequisites:
- GCC 5.3 cross-toolchain for Aarch64 available in your PATH
- You can download and use the Linaro GCC binary (Linaro GCC 5.3-2016.02), available at [http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.3-2016.02/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz](http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.3-2016.02/aarch64-linux-gnu/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz)
- GCC 5.3 cross-toolchain for gnueabihf available in your PATH
- You can download and use the Linaro GCC binary (Linaro GCC 5.3-2016.02), available at [http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.3-2016.02/arm-linux-gnueabihf/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz](http://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.3-2016.02/arm-linux-gnueabihf/gcc-linaro-5.3-2016.02-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz)
- GPT fdisk (gdisk package from your favorite distribution).
#### Installing pre-built toolchain(s)
```shell
mkdir arm-tc arm64-tc
tar --strip-components=1 -C ${PWD}/arm-tc -xf gcc-linaro-5.3-*arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz
tar --strip-components=1 -C ${PWD}/arm64-tc -xf gcc-linaro-5.3-*aarch64-linux-gnu.tar.xz
export PATH="${PWD}/arm-tc/bin:${PWD}/arm64-tc/bin:$PATH"
```
#### Getting the source code
```shell
git clone -b hikey-aosp https://github.com/96boards-hikey/edk2.git
git clone -b hikey-aosp https://github.com/96boards-hikey/OpenPlatformPkg.git
git clone -b hikey https://github.com/96boards-hikey/arm-trusted-firmware.git
git clone https://github.com/96boards-hikey/l-loader.git
git clone git://git.linaro.org/uefi/uefi-tools.git
```
#### Building EDK2/UEFI for HiKey
Building EDK2/UEFI is simple if built with the _uefi-tools.sh_ script, since it already incorporates the platform specific configs and binaries.
To build EDK2/UEFI (use **-b** to select **RELEASE** or **DEBUG** build):
```shell
export AARCH64_TOOLCHAIN=GCC49
export EDK2_DIR=${PWD}/edk2
export ATF_DIR=${PWD}/arm-trusted-firmware
export UEFI_TOOLS_DIR=${PWD}/uefi-tools
cd ${EDK2_DIR}
rmdir OpenPlatformPkg; ln -s ../OpenPlatformPkg
${UEFI_TOOLS_DIR}/uefi-build.sh -b RELEASE -a ${ATF_DIR} hikey
```
And bl1.bin with l-loader (ptable files are also created as part of the l-loader Makefile):
```shell
cd ../l-loader
ln -s ${EDK2_DIR}/Build/HiKey/RELEASE_GCC49/FV/bl1.bin
ln -s ${EDK2_DIR}/Build/HiKey/RELEASE_GCC49/FV/fip.bin
make # requires sudo for creating the partition tables
```
The files 'fip.bin', 'l-loader.bin' and 'ptable-linux-8g.img' are now built. All the image files are in _$BUILD/l-loader_ directory. The Fastboot App is at _edk2/Build/HiKey/RELEASE_GCC49/AARCH64/AndroidFastbootApp.efi_.
#### EFI boot partition
The boot partition is a 64MB FAT partition only contains fastboot.efi and GRUB2, since the grub.cfg, kernel, initrd and device tree are all loaded from the root file system (grubaa64.efi searches for rootfs label/boot/grub/grub.cfg).
```shell
wget https://builds.96boards.org/snapshots/reference-platform/components/grub/latest/grubaa64.efi
mkdir boot-fat
dd if=/dev/zero of=boot-fat.uefi.img bs=512 count=131072
sudo mkfs.fat -n "boot" boot-fat.uefi.img
sudo mount -o loop,rw,sync boot-fat.uefi.img boot-fat
sudo mkdir -p boot-fat/EFI/BOOT
sudo cp ${EDK2_DIR}/Build/HiKey/RELEASE_GCC49/AARCH64/AndroidFastbootApp.efi boot-fat/EFI/BOOT/fastboot.efi
sudo cp grubaa64.efi boot-fat/EFI/BOOT/grubaa64.efi
sudo umount boot-fat
sudo mv boot-fat.uefi.img hikey-boot-linux-VERSION.uefi.img
rm -rf boot-fat
```
Now just flash the recently created 'hikey-boot-linux-VERSION.uefi.img' with the same instructions as used with the pre-built binaries.

### LeMaker Cello
***
### Critical Bug List
As both USB and the PCIe slot are not yet functional (hardware issues), the only way to currently start the installer is via SATA (CD-ROM, or flashed in a SATA disk). Once the Realtek UEFI driver gets integrated as part of OpenPlatformPkg, it will also be possible to PXE boot the installer.
Please also check bugs [2194](https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2194), [2195](https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2195) and [2196](https://bugs.linaro.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2196) for the known issues.
### Boot Firmware
The [UEFI/EDK2 guide for EE](../UEFI-EDK2-Guide-EE.md) provides information on how to flash the boot firmware for Cello (Tianocore EDK2).
### Reference Platform Kernel
The Reference Platform kernel used by the enterprise release can be found on [github.com/96boards/linux](https://github.com/96boards/linux/tree/96b/releases/2016.06)
Since we use the same kernel config with all our builds and distributions, it is also available as part of the same kernel tree, and can be found at [arch/arm64/configs/distro.config](https://github.com/96boards/linux/blob/96b/releases/2016.06/arch/arm64/configs/distro.config).
At the time of the 16.06 release, the kernel is based on *4.4.11*.
### Quick Start
Booting from the network is not yet supported due lack of a binary UEFI driver for RTL8111GS, so installing from a physical medium is required (CD-ROM, SATA disk). USB and micro SD is not yet recognized by the UEFI firmware.
##### Flashing the firmware
Follow the instructions available as part of the [UEFI EDK2 Guide](../UEFI-EDK2-Guide-EE.md#amd-overdrive) in order to flash your LeMaker Cello. The tested flashing process requires [DediProg SF100](http://www.dediprog.com/pd/spi-flash-solution/SF100) or [SPI Hook](http://www.tincantools.com/SPI_Hook.html).
### Distro Installers
Install instructions for the tested/supported distributions:
* [Debian 8.x 'Jessie'](../Install-Debian-Jessie.md#loading-debian-installer-from-the-minimal-cd) - Using the minimum ISO
* [CentOS 7](../Install-CentOS-7.md)
#### Other distributions
Only Debian and CentOS are officially released and validated as part of the reference software platform project, but other distributions can be easily supported as well (just need kernel and installer changes).
Extra resources for other distributions:
* [Fedora 23](../Install-Fedora-23.md)
### Enterprise Software Components
#### OpenStack
Follow the [instructions](../OpenStack-Liberty.md) on how to install and run OpenStack Liberty on Debian Jessie.
#### Hadoop (ODPi BigTop)
##### Installation
Follow the [instructions](../ODPi-Hadoop-Installation.md) to install ODPi BigTop Hadoop
##### Setup and Running Hadoop
Follow the [instructions](../ODPi-BigTop-Hadoop-Config-Run.md) to configure and install Hadoop

The Reference Platform kernel used by the enterprise release can be found on [github.com/96boards/linux](https://github.com/96boards/linux/tree/96b/releases/2016.06)
Since we use the same kernel config with all our builds and distributions, it is also available as part of the same kernel tree, and can be found at [arch/arm64/configs/distro.config](https://github.com/96boards/linux/blob/96b/releases/2016.06/arch/arm64/configs/distro.config).
At the time of the 16.06 release, the kernel is based on *4.4.11*.
### Quick Start
#### D02 - QuickStart
UEFI/EDK2 is supported by D02 (with build from source instructions available as part of the [UEFI EDK2 Guide](../UEFI-EDK2-Guide-EE.md#building), and since ACPI support is new, please make sure you are using the latest firmware available at [https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/uefi/16.06/release/d02/](https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/uefi/16.06/release/d02/) before proceeding with kernel testing or installing your favorite distribution (and please make sure to report your firmware version when reporting issues and bugs).
**NOTE:** 16.06 kernel **requires** the 16.06 UEFI/EDK2 firmware release!
##### Flashing the firmware
Follow the instructions available as part of the [UEFI EDK2 Guide](../UEFI-EDK2-Guide-EE.md#d02) in order to flash your D02. The tested flashing process only requires access to a TFTP server, since the firmware supports fetching the firmware from the network.
### Network Installers
In order to install a distribution from network, PXE (DCHP/TFTP) booting is required. Since we require UEFI for the Enterprise Edition, the setup is usually easier since all you need is to load GRUB 2 (and its configuration). Check [this link](../DHCP-TFTP-Server-UEFI.md) for instructions on how to quickly setup your own PXE server (using *dnsmasq*).
Install instructions for the tested/supported distributions:
* [Debian 8.x 'Jessie'](../Install-Debian-Jessie.md)
* [CentOS 7](../Install-CentOS-7.md)
Enterprise Test Reports: ([Debian](https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/debian-installer/16.06/EE-Debian-RPB-16.06-TestReport.pdf) / [CentOS](https://builds.96boards.org/releases/reference-platform/components/centos-installer/16.06/EE-CentOS-RPB-16.06-TestReport.pdf))
#### Other distributions
Only Debian and CentOS are officially released and validated as part of the reference software platform project, but other distributions can be easily supported as well (just need kernel and installer changes).
Extra resources for other distributions:
* [Fedora 23](../Install-Fedora-23.md)
### Enterprise Software Components
#### OpenStack
Follow the [instructions](../OpenStack-Liberty.md) on how to install and run OpenStack Liberty on Debian Jessie.
#### Hadoop (ODPi BigTop)
##### Installation
Follow the [instructions](../ODPi-Hadoop-Installation.md) to install ODPi BigTop Hadoop
##### Setup and Running Hadoop
Follow the [instructions](../ODPi-BigTop-Hadoop-Config-Run.md) to configure and install Hadoop

# Test - Reference Software Platform
<a href="http://connect.linaro.org/resource/sfo15/sfo15-104-the-96boards-software-reference-platform/" target="_blank"><img align="right" src="http://i.imgur.com/UzmaWUD.png" data-canonical-src="http://i.imgur.com/UzmaWUD.png" width="300" height="200" /></a>
The Reference Software Platform Lead Project is part of the Linaro 96Boards initiative. The project's goal is to deliver Linaro output for ARM SoCs using 96Boards products. Use cases range from the Embedded to the Enterprise segments. Releases may contain bootloader, kernel, distribution and/or user level middleware/applications. Loadable software for 96Boards products, reference source code, hardware dependencies including porting tips for other SoCs, configurations chosen for the reference builds, and ample documentation will also be included with every release.
For more information about the Reference Software Platform project please watch this video from Linaro Connect (SFO15)
